Some LinkShare (LS) RSS Merchant Review

 

Linkshare affiliates can find a list of RSS data feeds in the new publisher dashboard. Go to Links > Data Feeds and select RSS Data Feeds.

Linkshare can also find all of them in the old interface:
FeedSynergy-> RSS Data Feed
But actually most of them are not very up to date.

Merchant name: EastBay
RSS Title: Eastbay Deals and Coupons
Review: promotions way out of date like this one (valid 4.9.07-4.28.07.)
Merchant name: Drugstore.com
RSS Title: Drugstore.com Monthly Promotions
Review: No expiry dates listed although I can see they were created way back in july.
Merchant name: Diamonds International
RSS Title: Diamonds International Deals and Coupons
Review: Good to see expiry dates listed and promotions up to date

 

Merchant name: ESPN Shop
RSS Title: ESPNShop Promotions and Coupons
Review: promotions don't seem to get updated, here is an example of what they are offering in December: ESPNShop

Mother's Day Sale
Merchant name: Forzieri
RSS Title: Forzieri Long Term Coupons
Review: promotions never updated, about as bad as it gets, check this example of what they have to offer affiliates: $10 Off all Orders Over $125 at Forzieri. Expires: Sept 1st 2007  (Don't all rush to add this)

Unfortunately, there are reports about the instability of linkshare datafeed files, the files were corrupt when they were unzipped a couple of product datafeeds from Linkshare
